NUTRICULA is a concept of solo physical performance by playwright Yasen Vasilev in collaboration with a series of performers, each of them changing the structure of the work based on his biography and socio-political context. The series of versions monitors how a global system regulates the ways in which we live, produce and reproduce and how we respond to it locally, limited by our own bodies. The concept subjects the performer to an intense physical effort that aims to test and reconsider the limits and functions of body parts.

NUTRICULA was created with the support of Minsheng Museum and Shanghai Theatrical Academy in China, Attalia Artes Performativas in Portugal, Arts Printing House in Lithuania and The Blank Contemporary Art in Italy.

In the selection of the OUT NOW 2017 Festival in Bremen, Germany and in the shorts of the Arte Laguna Prize 2018 in Venice, Italy, in performance category.
